Description

2004 Upper Deck Vintage is a 500-card set release in two series. The first 450 cards were issued as part of the Vintage series on February 02, 2004. The final 150 cards in the Vintage series (cards #301-#450) are short-printed and seeded into packs at varying levels.

The last 50 cards in the set (cards #451-#500) are known as the Update Series and were distributed exclusively as a factory set inside Hobby boxes of 2004 Upper Deck Series Two. Each Series Two Hobby box came with an unmarked and shrink-wrapped Update Set box from one of four possible 2004 Upper Deck early-season products: Vintage, Reflections,Play Ball, and SP Game Used Patch. Collectors had to break the shrink wrap to figure out which set they received; however, about two-thirds of the sets were Vintage.

* Each Hobby box contains a three-card pack of Old Judge cards packed as a box topper.

Short-Prints

This subset features 15 short-prints. The 10 Tier 1 (SP1) cards were seeded into packs at the rate of 1:20, while the five Tier 2 (SP2) cards are 1:40. Despite this, both the SP1 and SP2 cards are printed in roughly equal quantities.

Old Judge

These 10 cards are exclusive to special three-card "Old Judge" packs that were randomly inserted into each Hobby box as a box topper. The first ten cards in the set were sequentially-numbered as an extension of the base set and are listed below. The remaining 20 cards were numbered as a distinct insert (see below).

Each Old Judge base card is also available in a Red Back and Blue Back parallel.
